“The Amish produce excellent work.”

“We’ll be up to $11,000 in no time,” says the detective.
In the secret chamber, Jaecks discovered some papers in addition to the envelope. They were bank paperwork bearing the names of the deceased couple. Jaecks recognized she couldn’t keep the money at that time.
She contacted the vendor right away and informed him of the money she discovered in the headboard’s hidden compartment. When the seller learned how much money Jaecks had found, he said:
“Well, I’m surprised you called to inform me about it.”
Because the money wasn’t hers, Jaecks said she felt lighter after returning it to the couple’s youngster. She continued:
“My conscience is clear.”
When the vendor got the money, he gave Jaecks a portion of it as a gift for her honesty. He hadn’t anticipated the woman returning his money.
If you were in Jaeck’s shoes, what would you do? Would you keep the $11,000 you discovered in the concealed compartment of the headboard?
